Displace some workers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shift

I believe this is a double definition.

'displace' is the first definition.
(shifting is a kind of displacing)

'some workers' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for shift that I've seen before include "Move; straight dress" , "Dislodge" , "Move - working period" , "Key to move between lower- and upper-case" , "Change location" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
